freedesktopsteev@gentoo.orgEnables HAL to attempt to read from /proc/acpi/event, if
unavailable, HAL will read events from sys-power/acpid. If
you need multiple acpi readers, ensure acpid is in your default
runlevel (rc-update add acpid default) along with HAL. This will also
enable HAL to read Toshiba and IBM acpi events which do not get sent
via /proc/acpi/eventAllows HAL to mount volumes that are encrypted using
LUKS. sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks which has recently been renamed
to sys-fs/cryptsetup allows you to create such encrypted
volumes. HAL will be able to handle volumes that are removable or
fixed.Builds and installs the Dell addon, which reads data from
the Dell SM BIOS via sys-libs/libsmbios. It will read your
service tag information and your hardware backlight data as well as
allow you to modify the backlight settings on a Dell laptop.Allows HAL to use libparted from
sys-apps/parted to read raw partition data from your disks
and process that data. Future versions of HAL (possibly 0.5.11 and
higher) will allow you to create, modify, delete and format partitions
from a GUI interface agnostic of your desktop environment.Generates documentation that describes HAL's fdi
format.Adds support for power management scripts
(sys-power/pm-utils)Allows HAL to process PCMCIA/CardBus slot data which
includes inserts and removals and act on these events.Installs SELinux policies and links HAL to the SELinux
libraries.
